Diceland
Encyclopedia : D : DI : DIC : Diceland
Diceland can refer to either of two games:
- A Tile-based board game designed by Spartaco Albertarelli and released in 2002 by Kidultgame
- A Tabletop game played with collectible sets of dice designed by Toivo Rovainen and James Ernest and released in 2002 by Cheapass Games.
Diceland (tile based game)
Players place hexagonal tiles to form a playing area. They then roll dice to form an army. The dice themselves form the soldiers in the army, and the number rolled is the strength of the soldier. As a result, in smaller games luck plays a large factor and the game can be very one-sided. Larger games tend to be more balanced, though it is not guaranteed.

Diceland (collectible dice game)
Players roll paper cut-out octahedral dice into a combat arena. The dice are then used in the same way as miniatures - they can be moved around the arena and attack other dice.
The original Diceland set was Diceland: Deep White Sea, released in 2002. It was followed in 2003 by three more sets: Diceland: Ogre, Diceland: Space, and Diceland: More Space, and in 2005 with Diceland: Cyburg and Diceland: Dragons. There is also a Diceland set of Button Men. In addition, there are promotional dice; the 2005 summer promo die features characters from the world famous webcomic Penny Arcade.
In 2003, Diceland won the Origins Vanguard Award 2002.
